INpoRsEp BY THE PRESIDENT.
The Position Taken by OWL Service
Com mmisataner Obariv.


The special correspondent OF the Baltimore
Sun says that "the opinion promulgated by Civil
Service Commissioner Oberly as to the right
ofgovernment clerks to be enrolled members
Of political clubs has created small sensation
In department circles. There are not few
political organizations in full operation In this
city, the membership OF which islargely made
up Of oihcebolders. The Republican CLUBS
are, OF course, not In very ilourishing oondi'
tion At this time. The Republican otliceho,d-
ers are content to retire from politics. or, II
they indulge at all, TO do SO as full-hedged
members of Democratic organizations. Now
that the latter class realize that ther Efforts to
secure the good will of the authorities by pos.
ing as Democrats have beeu unavaillng they
are disappointed set. They have lost the
friendship OF their Old political associates, and
have not made their positions one jot more
secuie. The most open political CUB men
have, OF course, beeu Democrats. S)ne of
these openly demo ince MIR. Oberly, aud not
n lew go so far as to declare that they Will pay
no attention to his decision. Several of
the clubs have by unanimous votes con.
demned the civil service commissioner and
proclaimed him no true Democrat The more
conservative clerks recognize much sound
wisdom IN the letter written by Mr.. Oberly To
the Illinois club, and grant that IL contains
nothing not In accord with consistent inter
sonably certain that MIR. oberly did not send
the letter that has gained for him 80 much i'll.
Will without consulting nigh authority; on
the day preceding the publication OF his letter
Mr.. Oberly had lengthy Interview with the
President It was the second time he had
called to see the President. On the day pre-
oedinR he showed Col. Lamont the letter aud
stated that he would like the President TO
peruse II before he mailed 1t. 1t was then
that an engagement was made with the Presl-
dent for the next day. IL may be presumed
that the President indorsed the views of the
civil service commissioner, or the letter would
not have appeared n print Those who do
NOT obey its dictates, one of the department
officials stated, can be removed for offensive
partisanship, whether they be Democrats or
Republicans
